How to Get Your Friends off the Couch

Nothing goes together
quite like friends and summer, but during those warmer months, it can be
difficult to motivate your besties to get up off the couch and do something with
you. That's why any activities you suggest must be extra enticing and include all
the components of a fun and fabulous summer day. Here are five that even the biggest
homebodies can't ignore.

Shop
the Local Farmers' Market

Practically every city in
the country has a farmer's market these days, and if not, there's probably one
within half an hour of your town. At first glance, it doesn't sound like the
most exciting place to visit, but once you see all of the farm-fresh food and
other goodies for sale, you'll fall in love. Most markets have more than just
fruits and vegetables — you might find everything from baked goods and snacks
to flowers, teas, and beauty products. Stock up on food you've never tried, and
go home to plan a picnic or cook up a meal together.

Hit
Up a Festival

Summer is definitely
festival season, and whether you're heading out to a wine or music festival for
adults or a family-friendly event in your town, it's a great way to have some
fun. You can shop, eat, and explore until the sun sets, and it's the perfect
place for creating memories that'll last a lifetime.

Spend
a Weekend at the Beach

The beach is the ultimate
summer getaway, and if you shop around, you can get some great last-minute
deals on flights and lodging for your favorite lake or ocean vacation spot. Invite
your friends on a last-minute girls' weekend or plan a special romantic trip to
surprise your sweetheart. Spend a couple of days lounging in the sun and
swimming in the surf, dining on fresh seafood, and checking out the local spots.

Visit
an Amusement Park

You don't have to be a
kid to have fun at the amusement park. Even the stuffiest of your pals will feel
free to get wild while riding the biggest roller coaster in the park or trying
to win that teddy bear while playing carnival games. Don't forget that it's
perfectly acceptable to cheat on your diet when you're at the amusement park
surrounded by all of that yummy food.

Go
for Ice Cream

Speaking of cheating on
your diet, if all else fails, tell your friends you're going to get ice cream.
It's a treat no one can resist, especially when it's hot outside. Take a trip
to your favorite ice cream parlor, and don't shy away from the toppings.
